Use of toString

[Nelson Sam]

Hello all.

Can anyone tell me the usage of toString function.And also String toString method.
Thanks

default every class you write has object's toString() method which returns the name of the class followed by @hash value.
by overriding the toString method, you can return a more meaningful value to your class, such as attributes and their values

also it is very useful, when you debug by logging a class

I java, toString() method is used when we need a string representation of an object. It is defined in Object class.
More over, This method can be overridden to customize the String representation of the Object.
